The Sealing of our Foreheads

As a pebble is thrown into the water, and the effect is ripples that just get bigger and bigger until the resolution, so too, in my opinion, is the Sealing of the Most High G_d that we on earth are living through.  It would appear the Angel began his sealing with those that were as righteous as Job on earth.  There weren't many, believe me.  Some of these had been through the worst experiences on the face of the earth, and continued to walk in integrity, and some even continued to Praise G_d, no matter what.  I feel this started perhaps seven years ago.  The best of the best were tried first.  I'm talking the best of the best. We are told in the word that the trials would begin with the House of G_d.  Paul tells us that (my paraphrase) if the righteous scarcely make it, what about the sinner!  He means it, too.  If you think for one second that Father let his beloved only begotten Son die an agonizing, long, mutilating, death on the cross, and anything will pass under the wire, think again.  I know of 2 people in this town that I feel went under the first wave of chastisement and measure - just two in this giant town of over 275,000. Do you know that as we sit in our so-called safety (there only true safety is with Christ) there are individuals being killed for the Gospel. Some are rotting away in prisons. Some have already gone to Heaven and await us; such as, the Jewish Man who gave his life to save his students during the massacre at his College, and the little Black high school girls who were going to school who were beheaded. The Jewish man had actually survived the concentration camp, but gave his life willingly for innocents.  When you see certain places destroyed, like He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, try to recall what went down in these places.  If you can tap history, oftimes you may discover that these places were places of murder and martyrdom, sexual depravity, filth and sin that reached to the Almighty's nostrils, and indeed, it finally does.  Sometimes it takes ten minutes, sometimes ten years, sometimes more, but when it comes down, it is fiercer than any minute human can imagine in his wildest dreams. Back to the sealing that is going on.  Each level of Godliness is tested, to them it seems without mercy, but to be tested in itself is the mercy before the sealing. I would venture to say that this rippling-testing will continue right up to Armageddon.  The trials don't stop at the sealing either. They may continue right up to, and including either our translation, rapture or death.    The trials seem to ebb and flow such that we are not killed during them.  You will feel like you are smashed against a plexiglas plate door, with a steam roller at your back, but then the angel puts the streamroller in reverse, and you fall back on your keister, and live another day.  So, beloved, my point is, if you are in sheer torture, almost to death, every day offers a new catastrophe that you can't imagine having to live through, you are probably in a very good place Kingdom-wise.  You are probably being tested before the sealing.  Ask Almighty G_d to sustain you.  Ask Him to send comforting angels to help you through, and warring angels to battle for you, and protecting angels so you can rest.  We who love our G_d have direct access to Him.  We don't have to go through anybody or anything - we, due to Jesus' shed blood, can go directly to the Throne of Grace with our never-ending petitions.  We are encouraged to do so.  We are supposed to do so.  That is one of the ways His children stay close to His heart.  Are you wondering why the sealing?  When the death angel of G_d Almighty is commanded to begin the slaughter, and He will begin the slaughter at the Command of Heaven, those who are not sealed by the Angel of the Most High G_d will be wiped out.  Just like the Passover of old - just exactly like the Passover of ancient Israel, you must be covered under the blood.  Anyone not sealed under the blood of the doorposts/sacrificial slaugthered lamb/will perish.  Those who take the mark of Satan, in order that they may buy or sell, will perish. Please, I entreat you to read Revelation, Daniel, and Ezekiel, a hundred or more times if you feel the need until they sink in, and the Holy Ghost illumines them for you.  Those who are sealed by the Most High G_d will survive. That is why the sealing is so important.  It is important that you should be seeking and working out your salvation such that you may be sealed by a Holy G_d.  I don't care how young or old you are, you are not promised tomorrow.  This is not the time to party.  The time to party will be later.  This is the time to seek G_d and all his righteousness. If you are secure in your salvation, witness every chance you can with your words and your example.  Example is superior to words sometimes.  Sometimes words are superior to anything.  For example, we are to PUBLICLY CONFESS JESUS CHRIST with our mouth.  Nothing but words will do unless we physically can't speak or move. Telling a dying or lost person he is loved must be done with words sometimes as even kindness misses the mark of "I Love you."  This is not the time for false ego, deception, or "cunningly devised fables" as Peter advises.  Seek, seek, seek, until you know you have found the answer.  That's what I did when I was 19 years old, and publicly confessed to my husband that Jesus Christ was Lord of all, and I accepted him as my personal Saviour.  Best thing I ever did.  G_d bless and keep you, Carol
